Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a friction pad assembly for use in sliding caliper disc brakes and a sliding caliper disc brake incorporating such a friction pad assembly.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a friction pad assembly which includes an anti-rattle spring arrangement which solves all of these problems.
  • a friction pad assembly comprising a backing plate and a pad of friction material secured thereto, a wire spring being attached to the backing plate and extending outwardly in two directions from its point of attachment to the backing plate.
  • the backing plate has a tab or projecting part thereof which is free of friction material and which is located in the middle region of what will be the upper side of the assembly when inserted in a brake.
  • a hole is provided in the tab and a pin engages through the hole, the wire spring being pivotally mounted on the pin.
  • the pin and spring are fixedly attached to the backing plate.
  • the spring may be detachable from the backing plate.
  • the wire spring essentially comprises a coiled region formed by at least one coil which engages over the pin so that the axis of the coiled region is substantially perpendicular to the working surface of the friction pad, the free end regions of the spring projecting in opposite directions from the coiled region of the spring.
  • the sides of the backing plate are provided with laterally projecting shoulders which, in use, engage guides in the torque member.
  • the spring is fixed to the pad backing plate before the pad assembly is installed in the brake e.g. during manufacture, so that during installation it cannot slip and damage the flexible boot normally provided in a disc brake to protect the cylinder and piston against the ingress of dirt and moisture. Also, if the spring is permanently attached to the pad back-plate it cannot be mislaid during pad replacement and must always be replaced when the pads are changed, ensuring no degradation of performance. The attachment assures that, in use, the attitude of the spring to its associated pad backing plate remains constant, irrespective of the state of pad wear, so avoiding spurious displacements of the pad caused by offset spring forces.
  • a friction pad assembly in combination with a sliding caliper disc brake, the brake comprising a torque member and a caliper member incorporating at least one hydraulic actuator, the caliper member being attached to the torque member for sliding movement relative thereto and arranged to act on the friction pad assembly which is located in a recess in the torque member, the friction pad assembly comprising a backing plate, a pad of friction material, and a wire spring, the wire spring being attached to the backing plate and extending outwardly in two directions from its point of attachment to the backing plate, the spring also engaging the caliper member.
  • a friction pad assembly constructed in accordance with the present invention when a friction pad assembly constructed in accordance with the present invention is in use in a sliding caliper disc brake e.g. of the sliding pin type, the outwardly extending arms of the spring press against the caliper member and are deflected somewhat from their free attitude. The arms thus exert resilient forces against the caliper member, the reaction to the sum of which forces appears at the spring attachment point on the backing plate, thus pressing the friction pad assembly down on guides in the torque member.
  • the spring thus has a two-fold purpose, to bias the friction pad assembly relative to the caliper member and to effectively bias the caliper member relative to the torque member.
  • the spring acts both to prevent the friction pad assembly rattling in the guides in the torque member and to reduce the possibility of rattling occurring between the caliper member and torque member.
  • This latter source of rattling is inherent in any sliding caliper disc brake as a clearance must be provided on the guides which control the sliding movement of the caliper member to ensure freedom from seizure or jamming.
  • guide pins on the caliper member pass with clearance through bores in the torque member, and in accordance with the further feature of the present invention the pins will be biased against the walls of the bores.
  • the spring that forms part of the friction pad assembly of the present invention preferably includes a coiled region between the outwardly extending arms, the coiled region serving as a convenient location for attaching the spring to the backing plate.
  • This spring construction provides for a high performance from the minimum quantity of metal resulting in the benefits described hereinafter.
  • the friction pad assembly according to the present invention can be used to best advantage in a sliding caliper disc brake, in accordance with the further feature of the present invention it may also be used with advantage in any other type of disc brake to overcome the problems itemised hereabove.
  • the spring will have only one function. That is, to prevent the friction pad assembly rattling on its guides in the brake.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view of a preferred embodiment of a friction pad assembly constructed according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the embodiment of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of an end elevation of the embodiment of FIG. 1,
  • FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C are enlarged views of the wire spring used in the friction pad assembly illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3,
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of a sliding caliper disc brake incorporating friction pad assemblies as per FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 6 is a sectional view along line VI--VI in FIG. 5, and
  • FIG. 7 is a rear view of the disc brake of FIG. 5 cut away along line VII--VII in FIG. 5.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate a preferred embodiment of a friction pad assembly constructed in accordance with the present invention, for use in a sliding caliper disc brake.
  • the friction pad assembly generally designated 1, comprises a backing plate 2 and a pad of friction material 3.
  • the upper edge 2a of the backing plate 2 as illustrated in FIG. 1 has an upwardly projecting part or tab 4 which is free of friction material, and two laterally projecting shoulders 5 also free of friction material.
  • the tab 4 is arranged approximately in the middle of the upper side edge 2a of the backing plate and a hole 6 extends therethrough.
  • a pin 7 having a head 7a engages through hole 6, a wire spring 8 being pivotally mounted on pivot pin 7.
  • the pin 7 and wire spring 8 are fixed to the backing plate, as by riveting the pin to the backing plate, so that an old weak spring cannot be fixed to a replacement friction pad and backing plate.
  • the pin 7 may be detachable from the backing plate 2 enabling wire spring 8 to be replaced if so desired.
  • the wire spring 8 comprises a central coiled region 9 formed by a couple of coils 9a. If required only one coil or more than two coils may alternatively form the coiled region 9.
  • the end regions 10 and 11 of the spring extend from opposite ends of the coiled region 9 in opposite directions and are each bent at one location 12 about an axis parallel to the axis of the coiled region 9 and at another location 13 further from the coiled region 9, about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the coiled region 9.
  • the coiled region 9 of the spring 8 is located over pin 7 so that the axis of the coiled region is substantially perpendicular to the working surface 3a of the pad 3.
  • the end regions 10 and 11 of the spring are subject to a varying bending moment which is zero at the points of application of the load i.e. points 13, rising to a maximum at the point where the spring abuts the pin 7.
  • the amount of metal used to provide the required loads and travels is determined by the maximum stress permissible in the metal. If a spring design leads to the maximum stress occurring at a single point as often happens with plate or leaf springs, then the rest of the metal of the spring is not utilised to its full potential. This is wasteful of material and space. Thus it is desirable that the metal should be subject to its maximum stress over as large a proportion of its volume as possible.
  • the positions of maximum stress are marked ⁇ S ⁇ .
  • the high metal utilisation ensures that it takes up very little room, at a place where the minimum of interference with other components is essential.
  • FIGS. 5 to 7 of the accompanying drawings illustrate the friction pad assembly of FIG. 1 installed in a sliding caliper disc brake of the sliding pin type.
  • the disc brake comprises a caliper member 14 and a torque member 15, the caliper member 14 being provided with pins 16 (only one of which is evident in FIG. 7) which slide in bores 17 in the torque member 15.
  • the caliper member 14 includes a hydraulically operable piston 18 which can be axially moved by hydraulic pressure in cylinder 19 to act on friction pad assembly 21, caliper member 14 sliding relative to torque member 15 causing friction pad assemblies 20 and 21 to grip opposite sides of disc 22.
  • the friction pad assemblies 20 and 21 are located in recesses 23 in the torque member 15 (FIG.
  • the wire spring of the friction pad assembly of the present invention obviates the necessity for two specific springs, sets of springs, or resilient members which have previously been used for biasing the caliper member away from the torque member to take up manufacturing tolerances and to prevent pad rattle.
